William Chris Vineyards decided to put together the event, which runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at the winery’s Hye location, to showcase the distinct terroir of Texas.

“We are seeing a revolution in wine growing here in Texas, where winemakers are producing different styles of Texas grown wine reflecting more of our culture, terroir and cuisine,” William Chris winemaker and owner Chris Brundrett said in a press release. “Rosé is one of those incredibly versatile wines that goes with a wide variety of foods. This event will showcase where those wines are grown, who is making them and what local chefs are pairing with them.”

In addition to the more than 20 wineries showing off their rosés, the Texas Wine Revolution will also feature local food purveyors, live music and picnic areas “readied for guests lounging among the Texas vines,” according to the release.

The $50 tickets, which you can purchase at the Texas Wine Revolution website, will get you “a six-bottle tote bag, a souvenir wine glass, a booklet with information about each winery that will double as a passport, tastings of more than 20 Texas-grown rosés, the opportunity to purchase bottles and glasses from participating wineries, live entertainment, complimentary valet parking, and samples from local food vendors,” according to the release.
